Motivation

I'm taking part in a Challenge over the next 9 weeks to see who can lose the most weight each week and after week one I knew I was really slacking. But the leader of the contest asked a really good question this morning and it really made me do some thinking. I decided to share my response publicly to help keep me accountable and get me back on track. Here's the question: WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO ABOUT BEING AT YOUR GOAL WEIGHT????

What am I looking forward to about being at my goal weight? That's a really good question.

1. Being smaller than I have been in about 25 years, close to high school weight.
2. Knowing that I am no longer considered obese
3. Being able to shop anywhere I want to for clothes
4. Knowing I did what it took to reduce my risk of a heart attack and of getting diabetes. Knowing my kids don't have to worry about my health the way I worry about my parents.
5. Being smaller than my sister in law who always parades around like the queen of sheba at family events. Knowing I did the hard way and she paid for her tummy tuck.
6. Feeling what it will feel like to be in my husbands arms, smaller than I have ever been in our marriage. Seeing myself thru his eyes. (I really can't wait for this one)

WoW! Something about seeing your why in writing! I can do this, I know how to do this, now I just need to push and get it done! Please feel free to add your own answers to this question and join me, I really love to help you as I help myself.
